Genova · Italy
Where to Stay in Centro Storico, Genova
The medieval heart of Genoa, a labyrinth of narrow alleys (caruggi) stretching from Piazza Ferrari down to the port.
✦ The vibe
Bustling, chaotic, historic – feels genuinely lived-in, not just a tourist zone.
👤 Best for
First-time visitors, history buffs, budget travellers who don't mind noise.
🏨 Where to stay
Mix of small B&Bs, converted palazzi hotels (3-4 star) and budget hostels. Mid-range to cheap.
🚇 Getting around
Very walkable on foot. Principe and Brignole stations at either end. Airport: 25-min bus or taxi (€20-25).
📍 Nearby
